Your Brain: Who’s in Control? (Nova) provides narration to these videos of mobility with Parkinson’s. They actually resonate with me when I’m testing such things.

It’s a funny thing in Parkinson’s Research. They seem to be afraid to take a s**** until Bas Bloem publishes a study concluding it’s okay to take a s***. 😂.

For those lucky enough to receive treatment. Far too many lived w/o basic life-changing medication far too long. We can’t cure-all, but we could’ve been doing so much more. And you’re meeting in Hawaii? Probably $20 million cost. That’s 12-months L-dopa for 40,000 ppl!.
From Prof. C. David Marsden’s pivotal address at the 1993 AAN meeting to an explosion of global interest, the last 40 years have transformed how we understand and treat movement disorders. Join us at the #MDSCongress.

I think a lot of our strength comes from fighting for others. That’s when we feel most alive. When my ambition is righting a wrong somebody else endures, I can usually free myself of Parkinson’s. When my ambition is to free myself of Parkinson’s, I usually can’t. Makes me think.

This morning’s finish to my 12-hour basketball romp to raise $ for Parkinson’s in Uganda. Your $10 support is greatly appreciated. I can’t be normal. Life’s to be lived. Otherwise, this disease is too taxing. There’s very little if any escape from it in many places.

Session 2 recap of all-nighter to raise funds for Parkinson’s in Uganda. The Corner. It’s going to get ugly, but that’s Parkinson’s. It’s ugly in places like Uganda that we can’t even imagine.

The best nonprofit I’ve ever seen is for Parkinson’s in Uganda. But the wonderful founder is now battling cancer on the heels of her spouse doing same. It’s not looking good for the org or its ppl. I’m shooting 3s all night in hopes of $10 donations. 🙏

The ability to extract everything of use and diminish that preventing it… i’m in love with learning it and and seeing other develop it.
"It is evident that our organism has stored-up reserves of energy that are ordinarily not called upon, but that may be called upon: deeper and deeper strata of combustible or explosible material, discontinuously arranged, but ready for use by anyone who probes so deep. "

Getting rich lies in how much I give to you, not how much I get.

If cured of Parkinson’s tomorrow, how long does joy last? 6 months? 12? How long before settling in at baseline? Baseline, my current state of well-being, that’s the cure I need. That’s mine to fix. It self-repairs when shifting focus to someone else. I am my own healer.

Mind/body once again. But don’t forget heart/soul. Align it all. Neurology will not.

I have many loves: my kids, baseball, nature, music, challenge… and they’re all right here. How the F*** can Parkinson’s compete with that? . PD I don’t love. But the constant opportunities to use ❤️against it, I do.

There’s almost always a way. You might really have to want it. Or need it. Setting your heart, mind and soul to a task, to every task, is yes, a superpower.

I’ve been talking about this overlap for years. Come on in and have a seat. Let me show you some things.
Did you know that a functional neurological disorder could be a prodromal symptom of Parkinson's disease? Did you know in cases of already diagnosed Parkinson's disease, you can also develop a functional neurological disorder. Professor Lang nails it and helps us to be better

Our Parkinson’s organizations, God love ‘em, are in perpetual fundraising mode. Not once have I heard any one of them stand up and demand the $ we have be spent more efficiently. The waste is incomprehensible and the patient community stands alone.
